Sand Pudding

***I've moved my blog to Wordpress! If you're stopping by from Pinterest, I'd love for you to come and see me there! Thank you for visiting!***

When I was younger, my mom would make this pudding. She called it sand pudding. It was sooooo good. Every time she brought it somewhere it was finished.

Well, the other night I was looking for something to bring to church bible study group and my mom recommended this! Perfect! It is the prefect little dessert for your summer picnic and your kids will love it. You'll see.

You start by blending some Vanilla Wafers and just a couple of Oreos in a food processor. Like a whole bag of Vanillas to 3 Oreos. Unless you are looking for black sand, then add more Oreos. Blend them up real nice and this is what you should have:

SAND! Now you see where the name comes in. The you could just put in regular pudding in between sand layers, but that just wouldn't be as yummy. So we pimp out the pudding.

You have regular vanilla pudding and you add cool whip, cream cheese, powdered sugar, oh man, my sugar tooth is kickin' in just thinking about it. Once you have it all blended up, you start the layers.

And of course, it is only appropriate to do it in a bucket!

And Voila, that easy! You just layer it up, sand, pudding, sand, pudding (I wonder where the name came from?) and stick a shovel in it for serving and you are good to go! Look how creative you are with such little effort!

I think someone else found the pudding...

Yep, I left to get something else ready only to come back and find the little man grabbin' a shovel. And of course like the good mother I am, I waited for him to grab the spoon so I could snap a picture before I took it away. Don't worry, he got some later! Here is the full recipe

Hopping over from Ladybug Blessings linky party….What a wonderful yummy project :)I'd like to invite you to link your projects up at my weekly linking party at Craft Junkie Too. We'd love to have fabulous projects to share….:)TracyT.G.I.F. Linky Party at Craft Junkie Too

Almost exact to dirt cake only different is the vanilla waffers. I like the waffer idea better. Could also serve in those little clear cups people use for baby shower punch so people/kids can see the layers. I've served the dirt cake that way so the worms were visible to the kids. Are there shell shaped candies? That would be fun to put in it.

Very similar to dirt cake, only the van waffers is different. I like the waffer addition. Could also serve in those clear plastic cups used at baby showers so everyone can see the layers. I have served the dirt cake that way so kids could see the worms. If there is a candy shaped like shells that would be cool to put in it. Yum

I have a very similiar recipe that it appears someone else mentioned called dirt cake. You put gummy worms in it to decorate, it's made in a plastic plant pot, if you can find edible flowers those are also a part of it. It's very cute just like this one. I'm so saving this one and doing it at our next family gathering. My nieces and nephews will LOVE it & I bet the grown ups will LOVE it too! Thanks for sharing it!

Grey thanks for great photos, a super fun idea, a dangerously addictive recipe, and good spelling! I'll read your blog just because you can spell "voila" if for no other reason (although there certainly is reason)! Thanks bundles, keep the fun coming!

Just mixed the Nilla wafers and Oreos and this might just be the tastiest sand ever. I'm serving it as a topping for icecream at my daughters birthday this weekend. Thanks for the idea! (sugarsnips.com)
